Well, this year has been memorable so far. We have not had a bear problem for at least 10 years and this spring we had three yards hit. Some more than once. Lost a few hives and equipment, but nothing really horrific. We set up electric fences around the yards, which is working so far. A friend showed us a picture of a grizzly taken about a mile from one of the yards, but we don't think that was the bear causing us trouble. The game warden came out and set up a bear trap and a trail camera in one of the yards, but he never got a picture. We think we zapped the bear with the electric fence and she went away before he got the trap set. The bear came back a couple of weeks later, but we still had the electric fencer on (solar). You could see all the grass trampled where she had been.
Not exactly Winnie the Pooh!
